But it will work from /etc/make.conf (using either "=" or "+="), as
long as you don't select LDAP support.

Oh, so if I add the above stuff to /etc/make.conf it will work? Cool. Then why won't it work by passing it to "make" on the command line? I thought stuff in /etc/make.conf got passed to the "make" command ...

A better way to add support for PASSFILE, would be to add:

   PASSFILE "Add support for a Pine Password File (DANGEROUS)" off

to the list of options, then add the following below .if
defined(WITH_IPV6) ... .endif:

.if defined(WITH_PASSFILE)
EXTRA_OPTS+= PASSFILE=.pine.pwd
.endif

After you make these changes and test them, submit the change using
send-pr for inclusion to the pine4 port.  The maintainer will then
make the decision if this change is appropriate for the ports.

That sounds like fun! I'll try it and get back if there's any problems. :)

Thanks!
